I had a blog I worked on earlier this year. I worked very hard on it but ultimately stopped. I stopped the blog because it was about a niche I was recruiting in (Analog and RF semiconductors aka "chips for cell phones") and I decided to stop working that niche.
I stopped working that niche for one simple reason: it was too hard. I have less than 3 years in the recruiting business and I thought that I could handle it because I found the field interesting. The technology was not the problem, I could say the industry is too picky or that the people are this or that, but every field and every sector has their challenges. The problem was me - I took on that niche out of pride. I wanted to conquer the highest mountain, catch the biggest fish. Bygones.
I thought of deleting the blog as potentially embarrassing. Something started and not finished. After thinking about it, I decided that what would have been worse would be to continue to plod on and act as if it was working for me.
I, David Rees, am the author of an abandoned blog and I am not ashamed of that fact. So if you have started and stopped, even many times, but you know you need to write, pick it up again. Keep moving forward.
